Description
I veiskjæring er spor etter gammel drift. Ubetydelige mengder er tatt ut. NGU tok i 1996 ut en mindre blokk for saging og polering. Bergarten har en mer grønnlig farge på bollematerialet enn den ved Buskøy. Bergarten tar polering forholdsvis dårlig da det er stor variasjon i hardheten i de ulike bollene.
